A 9c imilar reference characters refer to smilarparts throughout the several viewsof the drawings.

Preliminary to a description of the speciiic features of my invention and as conducive to 95 a clearer understanding of the eneral objects thereof it may here be noted t at on account of the more or less promiscuous use to which closet-seats are subjected the desirability of Vrendering the same sanitary in all respects ico has long been recognized. I have therefore 'found it desirable in. the accomplishment of theV above and other purposes to provide an antiseptic waterproof'ed covering for a closet- Y boivi Yand Ahave also provided mechanism :o 5

Vadapted to be 'operated intermittently to redraw successive portions ci said material YVover the seat portion oi the bowl such that the support for said covering ma be moved to carry-the same from the bow in a direcno tion which will not disturb the connection of the material with the drawin means. I have, moreover, found it desirab e to provide a mechanism adapted. automatically to oontrol and determine absolutely the periods of operation of the drawing means, so that the openings in said covering when at rest may at all times be in perfect registry with the corresponding opening in the seat portion of the bowl. In order to provide against a second usage of the sanitary covering, I have found it essential that means be provided to mutilate and destroy such covering after the same has been once used.

In the attainment of the advantageous results hereinbefore broadly indicated I have so constructed the mechanism that the same may be readily applied to closet-bowls of all designs without affecting their use in any way for the purposes for which they are commonly employed.

he above and other advantages are secured in constructions of the nature of that hereinafter described.

`Referrin now to the drawings, there is shown at a closet-bowl which may be of any suitable design, having resting thereon the usual base-board B, rigidly secured thereto by suitable means as, inthe present instance, by screws a; Leading from a source of sup l f into the bowl is the usual yflush-pi e C, an inged to base-board B at A is t e seat D, havingthe usual opening E, the same being of any desired shape or confi uration. At thispoint it may be noted that t e closet as thus described is of a well-known typein general use.

A bifurcated casing A4, ixedly secured underneath seat D, has hin ed thereto at a5 a sealing-plate a, controller? by a spring s, the purpose of which will be apparent hereinafter. Casin A* is closed at the ends thereof and at the xline of union between it and the complementary part b is provided with bearings al for the roll-Carr 'ing spindle c, removably mounted therein and maintained in operative osition by means of spring al, acting on pus er-pin as.

Spindle c is designed to carry a roll ,F of

repared paper or other suitable material It, liereinafter to be specifically described, and to deliver the same between sealinglate a* andan antifriction-roller II, journa ed between brackets c, rigidly securedl to closetseat D. Sealing-plate a* is held frictionally a ainst the repared covering R lby means o spring s4, lnsuring a constant engagement between said covering and antifrictlon-roller H. It will accordingly be seen that casing A4 is entirely closed, and the prepared sanitary covering R, stored thenein,'is thereby protected against soiling and contamination.

In order to properly tension the unrolling portion of covering R and to compensate for the Vconstantly increasing power required to unwind the same, duc to th(` dcoreasmi lowlage as roll l1 is grwlually unwound, l promt a friction-plate J, carried by arms r', which are pivotally mounted upon rod l, erm Ning longitudinally of casing A". and soul l'fi.` nonY plate is maintained in cugina-inout with roll F by spring d". It will be noted that as roll lf diminishes in size frictiolrplate ,l descends by gravity and also by reason of i he gnvssurc imparted by spring a3, the force of spring o" being gradually diminished until lri: lionplate .l maintained against roll F ln grav ity' alone. In order to take up any slack in the covering R when the same has been drawn upon closet-seat D by the mechanism presently to be explained, I provide rod. G, carried by arms A2, which are journaled exteriorly of bearin s all. Rod G rests upon the upper surface of covering R and takes up any slack that may occur therein.

Referring now particularly to my waterproofed sanitary covering R, the same con sists, as clearly shown in Fig. 13, of a strip of material, preferably paper, of a width substantially equal to that of closet-seat ET and may be of any desired length. Openings S are cut at regular intervals and correspond in sha e, size, and direction to the opening E in c oset-seat I).

One method of preparation of covering R, which I have found desirable, is to pass a continuous roll. of paper through a bath contain* ingmelted paraflin or a warm solution of paraflin in benzin or any of the tallow series of fats and oils or linseed or other series of dryin -oils ro led up in rol of suitable length. Another method of pre aring this antiseptic covering which I have 'ound advantageous is to pass the same through a solution of diluted sul-- furie acid so as to parchmentize it and render it Waterproof, after which it may be rendered antiseptic by im re nating it with a solution containing bi'ch orig of mercury. Another method which I have also found advantageous and which is perhaps attended bythe best results is to pass the Same through a hath containing melted paraflin or piuafin dissolved in benzin. 'with bichlorid of mercury (Hglh) preferably in the proportion or one part of bichlorid of mercury to five hundred parts of liquid paraliin. It will be seen, therefore, that the paper or other material so prepared operates as a protective medium between the body of the user and the closetseat, the sanitary quality thereof preventing the contraction of diseases commonly contracted from closet-seats which are used promiscuously in public places. The Waterproofing of the paper not only prevents the absor tion thereby of urine or other iiquids, and t rus operates as a sanitary agent, but also prevents the weakening of the connecting-strips b. wetted, and thus reason of being maintains t e integrity of t e mechanism, in-

The 1paper is then dried and finaily asrnuch as the paper, as Wiil be apparent hereinafter, acts as a connecting medium betweentne Winding mechanism and the storage mechanism or su ply-roll F.

To prevent users o the closet-seat from aceidentaliy siipping the protective'covering R along the saine, there is provided a member K, extending transversely and arranged slightly above the uppersurfaoe of seat D and located in a depression therein. Member Kis rovided with ins e, bearing upon friction@ ate J, and is he d in its u ward position hyrneans of springs es. It wilhe seen that any weight aV piied to member K-as, for instance, t e closet-seat is in use-will tend to force friction-plate J against roll 'F to prevent an accidentai rotation thereof.

The openings S in antiseptic coi-Tering R may he eut in any desired manner before the saine is made up into the roll F, said coverinfr extending over closet-seat D and is provide between each of said openings at equai dis tances from each other with indicating marks or lines B7, printed 'or otherwise `reduced thereon, the purpose of which will e apparent hereinafter.

Upon supportingbase-plate B', secured to hase-hoard B, are securely inoun ted, by ineans of brackets bf, standards M, M2, and G2, designed to support the operating-where and the mechanism for driving the saineA Shaft h is journaled in standards M, M2, and Gf2 and has ositioned. thereon between standards M and i12 one of the drawinU-rollers P, which is divided into two spaced sections between which is positioned upon shaft h a circular knife y', having a beveled edge le arranged substantially midway between said spaced sections.

AJournaled upon studs o9, extendin from brackets b1", are arms A, which are a apted to support and between which is journaled a shaitdg, carrying aseeond drawing-roller O, also 'ivided into two spaced sections, hetween which is .slidably mounted a sleeve t, carrying a coacting circular knife T, having a .beveled edge s, ysaid knife being heid when k rollers O and P are in en agement, as shown in Figs.. l and 3, against rnife extensiie spring b, encircling s mit g and eicertin sections of roller P are arranged in proximity to each other in order that substantialif,YY the entire surface oi the roller may he utiiized to support covering R, the sections of roller when by means of U pressure between sleeve i and an aidjustaloie coiiar liz, secured upon shaft g. TheY and roiier 0 is constantly urged toward roiler i? by means of springs p", extending between arms A and a fixed point of standards M and M2, and when it is desired to separate the roll# ers, as for the purpose of inserting the strip of covering R therebetween, the operation may he accomplished by. drawing arnis A out- Wardiy until the slots o of latchesg, loosely i mounted u )on pins q, extending from standarde M an M2, engagefwith similarly-mounted pinswn'extendin from arrns At Roger Q- may" therefore be eld ont ci engagement with rollerl P during the operation of nsertingfcovering R therebetween until released by the detachment of latches g.

Rewindng orl; skev n p roller Q is comprised of spiit hoilows indlef, one member, o7, being iiingedly secure to the otherineniher b, at a5 ,adjacent a guide-Harige T2. The opposite ends of each of members and. bs are preferably squared and when in a closed position, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, are adapted to enter a preferably'rectangular opening d in the guide-flange T', which is provided with a Journal e, ada Vted to enter a bearing c in standard M. caring c has located therein a sprinilr c7, actingon pusher-pin cB to ineintain rollerQ in position, as shown Yin Fig. 1-

Spindle f extends throu h guiding-Bange T2 and Vis provided with agiiollow end or recess to receive the end of a short shaft Y, journaied at one end in standard M2 and at the opposite end in a Usha ed piece c, iixediy secured to standard hij by suitable means, as screws c. A transverse siot cn in the end Yoi spindle f receives a pin p, positioned in the end of shaft V.

Journaied-upon a rod B2 and extendin@r between standards M and M2 areriction-plates E and E, the function of which is to hold the antiseptic coverin R in engagement with drawing-roher P, an( which are constantly urged toward said roller P by sp1ingsf2,'and are connected at their lower ends byrod F2. A curved comparatively rigid rod E2, ivotfally Vattached. to connecting-rod *2,

mounted eecentrically thereon a milled knob F3, as clearly shown in Fig, 7. It will De obiious that a rotation of rod E2 Vwill operate to nrithdraw friction-plates E E! frein Hiller Y, ai'iowing the insertion of covering R bef l Vtween friction-plates E E and drawing-V roller P. i f 'i Willnow describe the mechanism where by the'roiers and P are caused to draw and. reWinding-roiler Q is operated to take up a given portion 'ofV the sanitary coveringV R across closet-Sestri, such mechanism operating to ahsoiutely determine .the extent of -nioveinr-zrit of said drawing-rollers.

. To an anooriliJ journaled in standards M2 and, G2, there is secured at its inner end at d3' a coiled xnainspring i", as clearly shonni-n F ig. ,8, the outer end of which is secured'tee .drum D", journaied on arhorD-, which drurn ICO IIC'

has

l BYTE carries a gear-wheel G. Gear-wheel G ineshes with a pinion msccurcd to shaft i of` drawing-roller P. (,ear-whccl t, secured to shaft ll, meshes with a iinion 7c, carried by short shaft j", journaled between a bracket H2 and standard M2. Shaft j is provided with a reduced end extending through standard M2, to which is secured adisk lz", carried by a crank-arm. e", positioned upon the end of shaft g of drawing-roller O. it will therefore be seen that short shaft j, by reason of the play allowed upon f6 in slot g, will operateto drive roller (i), although the suine he out of alinement therewith-as, for instance, when the sanitary covering It extends between the drawing-rollers 0 and P. At this point it maybe noted that the circumference of drawin f-roller O is in the present instance oneha f of that of drawing-roller P and that the gearing is so proportioned as to drive roller O with twice the angular velocity of roller P, therebhwT insurin an equal surface velocity of each of said rollbers. It is of course obvious that the relative dimensions of rollers O and P may be proportionately varied with a corresponding ch,` ge in the number of teeth in each of gear-wheels'l and G and openings rm2 and 7c", it being only essential that the surface velocity of each of rollers O and P always remain equal. Positioned upon shaft h between gear-wheels l and standard Mft-is a pulley-wheel K,which is ada ted to drive, by means of belt N', a pulley-w ieel M', secured to shaft V, which is adapted in turn to drive take-up roller Q, as hereinbefore explained. Belt N is of such tension as to slide slightly upon pulley-Wheel M to compensate for the increase in size of the roll of the used strips of covering R as the same is wound upon rollerQ. From the above descri tion `it should be obvious that a rotation o drum D through the train of ears will operate to drive rollers O and P antfgtake-up roller Q.

Keyed toshaft h, adjacent the outer end thereof, is a gear-wheel N2, meshing, with a pinion M2, carried byshaft l, journaled at c5 c5 etween bracket H2 and standard G2. Shaft l carries a screw-gear L2, which meshes with a worm-screw K2 upon shaft I2, journaled in brackets d2 and d3. Screw-gear L2 and worm- `screw K2`comprise what may be termed a reversed worm, inasmuch as the power is transmitted through screw-gear L2 to operate shaft I2 through worm-screw K2, this being a reversal of the usual method of transmitting motion .by means of similar mechanism. Proj eeting from a bushing, a, positioned upon shaft I2 and adapted to rotate therewith, is a pin 15, the function of which will be presently described.

Pivotally mounted uponstud b4, extendin0r over bracket H2, is a substantially S-shape rocker-lever T, having intermediate its ends a pin c4, adapted to enter a slightly-inclined depression d* in drum D', and a spring e5 op- Awill operate tocontrol and crates to constantly urge said rocker-lever toward drum D. thicker-lever T* is iprovided at the lower end thereof with n pin '115, which when pin is located inl depression rl" of drinn D is adaj. yd to engage with pin rf, carried by lnisliiiigfll if shaft l2, and normally to prevent the rotatn ai of shaft i2, thereby acting as u stop for tin entire train of gears adapted to be operated bj.' inainspring F.

Positioned upon shaii` i is a disk h6, having a recess c" to accommodate ii pin l extending from rocker-lever T, as clearly shown in Fig. S. The upper end of rocker-lever T4 norinally rests upon a beam R, iivotally mounted upon a bracket R4, cairietldiy standard M2, which beam normally rests upon a cani M4, carried by drum D.

Loosely jonrnalcd upon arbor D3 is a segmental cam S2, clearly shown in Fig. 6, which is adapted to be engaffed and compelled to rotate with arbor D2 uring a portion of its rotation by a spur-screw 11:5, carried by disk un, fixedly secured to arbor D3. Ratchetwheel F, iixedly secured to arbor D3, is engaged by awl p3, pivotcd to screw p4 upon standard (12, and to arbor D3 there is secured extciiorly of standard G2 an o erative crankhandle E. Disk w* is provi ed with a cutaway portion `nT to provide a shoulder n2, the purpose of which is to prohibit a rotation of arbor da when the mechanism is in operation, inasmuch as shoulder will be engaged by beam R2, which during the operation is in its lowermost position.

In order that the speed of -the motor may be balanced and controlled, I have provided a governor'designed to accomplish this desired end and vet of such construction that during the sudden starting or stopping of the operating parts the momentum acquired will not operate to shock or jar the coacting parts. Journaled upon shaft I2 are blocks c2 and to2, flexibly connected with each other by means of toggle-arms m2, carrying weights `m3 at their points of ivotal connection P2, said blocks being urge in opposite directions by a coiled spring encircling shaft I2. Block o2 is provided with a friction-disk g2, which is adapted to be engaged by a coacting frictiondisk p2 upon'bushing a, carried by shaft I2, and secured to block 1112 is a friction-disk r2, adapted during the operation of the governor to encrage with a friction-[nece s, of hard fiber or other suitable material, adjustable frictipn member t2. Adjustable friction member t2 may be adjusted with respect to friction-disk r2 by means of a clamping-screw e7, engaging with bracket H2, operating in an elon ated slota2, as clearly shown in Fig. 8. It will therefore be seen that the governor, the speed of which is at a very hivh velocity as compared with that of drum f, act as a balance revision of the fricy coacting friction,

carried by an for the motor, and the tion-clutch comprised IOO 'v xo'wwith theiised strips of the protective cover zo upward positionto its normal position. if

lle I have provided a spring-operated motor for driving the drawing-rollers and the rewindin -roller, it is obvious that any suitable mec anism as, for instance, an electric motor-may be advanta eously used in this relation or thatmanuaIly-operated means may be employed without departing from the scope of my invention, .it being only essential that the movement of covering R across closet-seat D be positive and also that it be accurately determined, whereby the openingls therein will register with the openingin t e closet`-seat. It should be apparent also that while the governor employed in the relation described is well adapted to accomplish the functions for which it is intended other governing means-as, for instance, a fan-may be substituted without affecting a departure'from the spirit of my invention. It will therefore be seen that I have provided a mechanism well adapted to attain the objects of my invention and one which. is also characterized by accuracy of operation, the several parts operating as described to accomplish the several advantageous results above enumerated.

In order to provide vagainst ambi uityin this specification and in the claims, Igwish it to be distinctly understood that b v the terms intermittent or intermittently as used to describe the movement of the covering over the closet-bowl is meant a movement characterized by alternate starts and pauses or rests, as when a used ortion of the antiseptic material is drawn rom the seat of the owl to expose a fresh ortion thereon, at which time the portion o the drawing means is stopped, thereby allowing the fresh portion to rest over said seat.

As many changes could be made in the ,above constructions and many apparently wid-ely different embodiments of m invention could be made without departmg from the scope thereof, I intend that-all matter contained in the abovedescription or shown inthe accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.v I desire it also to be understood that fthe language used`in the following claims is intended to cover 'all of the eneric and specific features of the invention erein described and all statements of the scope of the inven-A tionwhich as a matter of language, might be therebetween.
